Which means that, in addition to having a portion of the day to cook, eat, watch football and hang out with our friends and loved ones, many of us could choose to get a drop on our holiday shopping at one of the big name retailers that have set Thanksgiving day hours. And some people enjoy the blood sport of high-stakes, high-impact holiday shopping.

The key word here is “choose.” While we can choose to shop on Thanksgiving, Workers at Target, Walmart, Toys R Us and so many others don’t have a choice. If they’re low enough down on the totem pole, they’re on the job. End of story.
